Stunt Double

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE TO MAKE VIN DIESEL LOOK MACHO?

Vin Diesel’s stuntman Joe Watts (above) is fighting for his life after a safety cable broke when he leaped from a balcony on the UK set of Fast & Furious 9 and he plunged over thirty feet and landed on his head. He is now in an induced coma and the prognosis is not good. Back in 2002, another of Vin Diesel’s stunt doubles was KILLED in a paragliding accident on the set. What is WRONG with these filmmakers? Is thrilling those boneheaded teenage viewers and enhancing Diesel’s badass reputation REALLY more important than keeping people alive? If actors had to do their own stunts this insanity would not happen.

Brad Pitt Lookalike Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Stunt Double

IS THIS JUST ANOTHER PHOTO OF BRAD PITT?

At first glance this looks like just another photo of Brad Pitt on the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood set. But you’re WRONG. This is Brad Pitt’s lookalike stunt double. We couldn’t find out his name but we can imagine what fun this guy has because of the resemblance. Certainly he gets plenty of glances from women and his looks just might get him past those pesky nightclub doormen…all sorts of possibilities…

Deadpool 2 Death Stunt Double Stunts

DEADPOOL 2 IS LIVING UP TO ITS TITLE

The movie Deadpool 2 could not have been more aptly named. TWO stunt people are dead, and for no good reason. Why isn’t the director David Leitch being called out as responsible for this obviously neglectful situation? Marvel Comics should be ashamed. Leitch and other male directors are pressured to feed the ever-accelerating thirst by their male audience for more and more horrific and mindless violence. Whatever the cost. It’s time to stop and think – is it worth it? We look forward to the filmmakers being held responsible for these two unnecessary deaths.

Jennifer Lopez Shades of Blue Stunt Double

JENNIFER LOPEZ’S STUNT DOUBLE NEEDS CERTAIN ASSETS

Jennifer Lopez’s stunt double definitely looks like her from the BACK. And when she’s doing running scenes for Shades of Blue – that’s probably most important. From the FRONT, there’s a faint resemblance but one thing the two women have in common in this photo is unflattering pleated baggy pants. But female detectives have to dress sensibly for an active job, so that’s THAT.

Jennifer Lopez Shades of Blue Stunt Double Stunts

FALLING DOWN STAIRS IS NO PROBLEM FOR JENNIFER LOPEZ

Jennifer Lopez is not thrilled at the prospect of falling down brick stairs and happily allows her stunt double to take over. (Her TV character on the new series Shades of Blue was slugged by the guy who answered the door.) This is the kind of stunt that Tom Cruise wouldn’t do either – because it’s not glamorous or daring or a “look at me!” moment – just dangerous. Tom will cling to the side of a plane in flight because it’s dramatic, but he might actually get hurt falling head first down stairs…

Ashley Cusate Couples Mel Gibson Stunt Double

MEL GIBSON IS HOT FOR JENNIFER ANISTON’S STUNT DOUBLE

#melgibson #janetcharlton

Mel Gibson, 56, is attracted to European women – perhaps because they might not be quite as familiar with his behavior problems and hot temper. His latest companion is a good match for him – she’s a stunt woman currently in training for a black belt in karate. Italian born Ashley Cusate, 38, has only been in Hollywood for five years and she’s already stunt doubled for Jennifer Aniston, Penelope Cruz, and Anne Hathaway, and has built quite a career for herself. She and Mel have been seeing each other for about a month and seemed quite affectionate Sunday at Nobu in Malibu.

John Malkovich Red 2 Stunt Double

BRUCE WILLIS APPRECIATES HIS STUNT DOUBLE

#brucewillis #janetcharlton

Bruce Willis doesn’t insist on doing all his stunts these days so he has a stunt double with a shaved head just like his, ready to tackle the violent scenes. He’s in Paris filming Red 2 with Catherine Zeta Jones and John Malkovich. Bruce didn’t need his double to fill in for a scene where he chased a guy on a motorcycle because the bike was actually on a dolly and not moving very fast.
